Re: Reducing the Mother Tongue Weighting for PSLE

It has been a long time since the Chinese community has been so openly active about an issue:

• Chinese clans to petition against Mother Tongue Weighting Reduction
• Chinese Teachers’ Union called for preservation of weighting in mother tongue

This is extremely intriguing, especially when the next election is round the corner.

This may just well be a watershed in the usual lead up to the election. This is history in the making, my friends.

What are the possible outcomes of the discussions amongst Singov, the Chinese clans and the Chinese Teachers' Union?

• Delayed reduction of MT Weighting (E.g. to maintain no reduction for next 2 years, then to be reduced incrementally to 20% in 2013, then 15% by 2015)
• Slight reduction of MT Weighting (E.g. only reduce by 5% - 10%)
• Segmented: If you take Chinese A, your MT weighting remains at 25%. If you take Chinese B, your MT weighting is reduced by X%. <<<< My favourite... Heh heh heh... 融会贯通呀! 知己知彼，百战百胜哦! =))

Can't wait for the outcome to be announced.
